The contrast between Rose and Bruno Mars before APT.

Thùy Trang |

Rose and Bruno Mars join forces to create the global hit "APT.".

Rose and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” has been trending on forums for the past few days. The catchy melody, fun moves, and simple lyrics are what make the song reach audiences across generations.

According to Rose, “APT.” originated from the familiar apartment game (layering game) on Korean drinking tables, helping to connect participants.

With a very good number of views and listens, "APT." became the most successful song in Rose's personal career.

The song is not only composed by Rose, but also revolves around a traditional Korean game, expressing the culture and lifestyle of Korean youth.

Thanks to the "storey house" fever, Rose became the female Kpop artist with the highest number of monthly listeners in Spotify history.

“APT.” has maintained the No. 1 position on the global Spotify chart for 20 consecutive days, and has been No. 1 on Apple Music globally and iTunes globally for 2 weeks.

Previously, Rose's two solo songs "Gone" and "On the ground" were written entirely in English, and were widely distributed but their achievements were far less than "APT.".

However, some opinions say that "APT." suits Rose's voice and style, has good achievements but is not Bruno Mars's signature song.

Bruno contributed lyrics to 2 songs, played instruments in the MV and didn't need to show off much vocal technique or lyric writing skills.

The audience thinks that Bruno has almost no "touch" with the content of the table game mentioned in the song. He rarely has contact with Korean culture.

Bruno Mars' appearance brought great appeal to the MV, helping him and Rose "cover" Korea and many Asian countries.

However, the lyrics of "APT." are still controversial because they are monotonous, cliched, and repeat the same phrase over and over again. Some people commented that this song is one of Bruno Mars's unprofessional products.

Looking back at the series of hits in the male singer's career such as "Marry you", "Just the way you are", "Talking to the moon", "Treasure", "That's what i like", "When i was your man"... he has had many global hits and affirmed his own unique and characteristic musical color.

To date, Bruno Mars has won 15 Grammy Awards and many other major and minor awards. He has also been listed in the Guinness Book of Records many times for his million-view performances and songs that have lasted for decades.

In 2024, Bruno Mars has another potential hit to compete at the 2025 Grammys - "Die With A Smile" duet with Lady Gaga.

With two consecutive hit songs, Bruno is one of the artists with the most monthly listeners in the world. Every month, he has more than 120 million listeners on the Spotify platform.
